If you change your motor oil often then this little device is a real help.
Plus if you warm your engine first it will flow much quicker :smirk:

I guess if you used it to do extra oil changes between scheduled service intervals, then it might have some merit. But then considering the considerable cost of decent motor oil you might as well spend the extra effort, jack the car up and change the oil properly, with a filter change at the same time.

Isn't it better to let the oil drain out the sump rather than these devices?
my mechanic uses one of these, however I have insisted he drain the sump, as I cannot see how all the oil would come out including the bits of metal that have sunk.

Buy a quick valve. Makes it quick and easy. Big advantage is you can can do a hot oil change without burning yourself. Some people use them to drain the bottom liter (dirtiest) out the sump and top up with a fresh liter halfway through oil change cycle.
Also great if somebody overfills it you can just drain a little out.

I have used a manual pump for nearly 8 years and at 2 changes each year. Every 4th or 5th change I will drain via the sump but that's really only to see if any metal is on the plug (magnetic sump plug) to check for problems. None yet so happy.
I have twice drained with a pump and then dropped the sump plug and the amount that came out was not even half a cup. From experience I move the pipe around to catch pockets of oil and then let it sit for half an hour to let the last dregs around the engine drop to the lowest.
Garages use pumps not out of laziness but in the knowledge it works and they don't have the worry about stripped plugs.

Yes but its an overkill, just use a turkey baster.

Its used more to fill rather than withdraw. ie , gearbox oil filler holes are not that easy to access so you would use one of these to fill it back .

Lot of manufacturers remove oil this way now, rather than draining through the sump. Seems odd to me, but it's common. I guess it's down in part to many cars having shields and trays under the sump?

My shield takes at least an hour to remove/refit,shearing bolts etc etc so I will be getting one of these, cheers OP.
